1991 | George Fraser (1854-1944) - Ucluelet, BC In 1991, the American Rhododendron Society posthumously awarded George Fraser its "Pioneers Achievement Award".

He was interested in developing crosses between the native rhododendron of the Pacific Coast and the hardier rhododendrons from the Eastern United States and Canada. |
